SALT is back with a second Leeds venue, and this time it’s all about craft beer and falafels.
Picture the scene, it’s been a long, hard week at work. You’re in Leeds city centre and want a post-work drink and nibbles in a relaxing space that will allow you forget about the day-gone-by.
SALT Craft + Falafel is going to be one of those places that allows just that. Grab a cold craft beer, grab a seat by the waterside, taste some of Leeds’ most-famous falafels and Middle-Eastern cuisine. It really is going to be impossible to bring your worries with you as you enter here.
Opening next week, SALT is launching its sixth branded tap with a craft + falafel concept in central Leeds next week, on Friday 18 February.
Where Craft Asylum once stood, the newly-refurbished site will be pairing award-winning craft beer with delicious middle-eastern street food from Falafel Guys to offer a unique twist on their love for discovery and food- SALT Craft + Falafel really does promise a taste sensation for all the senses.
Having proved the success of pairing street food with craft beer through their two Craft + Pizza places in London and a Craft + Bao concept in Sheffield, this latest SALT Tap explores the tastes of the middle east by partnering with the culinary wizards ‘Falafel Guys’.
Famed for their delicious Middle-Eastern Street food originating from their bright red food van on Briggate, ‘Falafel Guys’ have become a staple of Leeds’s Street food culture. Whether it be fresh falafel cooked in front of your eyes, chunky grilled Halloumi or slow oven-cooked chicken – we’re told that when paired with craft beer they are a match made in heaven.
Co-Founder of Falafel Guys, Ahmed Ramzy has said ahead of the launch, “SALT and the area is very lively and we’ve been doing our research into locations where there is a gap in the market for tasty fresh falafels. Middle Eastern food is extremely popular and what differs us from other places is that we use top quality freshest ingredients and everything on the menu is halal. We can’t wait to meet and welcome our new and regular customers.”
If the promise of delicious falafel and SALT’s award-winning brews isn’t tempting enough already, the addition of seven different cocktails ‘on tap’ will also bring the fastest cocktail serves to Granary Wharf. Think 2 for £12 all day, every day on all your favourite concoctions, as well as quality craft beers on offer and a super speedy service.
Situated in the modern development of Granary Wharf, the area features a vibrant selection of bars, restaurants, a contemporary hotel, residential buildings and open spaces with scenic views. Just a stone’s throw from the rapidly growing reborn district of ‘Temple’, SALT Craft + Falafel offers something new for residents, workers and visitors alike- and we can’t wait to check it out.
Founder, Jamie Lawson states, “We wanted to extend our presence in Leeds whilst still offering something different. We were blown away by the reception to SALT Leeds Craft + Cocktails and we wanted to offer a little bit of diversity in a fast-growing area of the city centre.

“SALT Craft + Falafel is inspired by our love for food and venues that offer something for everyone. Craft beer and street food is such a natural pairing and adds to our pursuit of ‘beer perfection”.
You can grab a pint and a falafel from Friday 18 February at SALT Craft + Falafel at the former Craft Asylum venue at Granary Wharf.
